Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
sunrpc: fix client side handling of tls alerts
A security exploit was discovered in NFS over TLS in tls_alert_recv
due to its assumption that there is valid data in the msghdr's
iterator's kvec.
Instead, this patch proposes the rework how control messages are
setup and used by sock_recvmsg().
If no control message structure is setup, kTLS layer will read and
process TLS data record types. As soon as it encounters a TLS control
message, it would return an error. At that point, NFS can setup a kvec
backed control buffer and read in the control message such as a TLS
alert. Scott found that a msg iterator can advance the kvec pointer
as a part of the copy process thus we need to revert the iterator
before calling into the tls_alert_recv.
